Build things yourself. Using LLMs doesnt help you understand anything, they will just give you an annoying case of dunning kruger. Using them will only make you retart-d
Think of it as paying for tokens. The tokens you could buy 3 years ago are better and two orders of magnitude cheaper today. If that happens again over the next 3 years then the tokens you can buy today to do a job for 20k will cost 200.
This isn't optimistic in my opinion. It's not even fully realistic because Gemma 4, which you can run on local hardware, is even better and another few orders of magnitude cheaper. A 20k job today might a few dollars in a few years.
Well this is what happens when everyone hires an actuary to handle their pricing and every business earns its revenue through psuedo-insurance policy subscription products.

Truth. But not just “using”.
Because here’s where this ship has already landed: humans will not write code, humans will not review code.
I see mostly rage against this idea, but it is already here. Resistance is futile. There will be no “hand crafted software” shops. You have at most 3-4 years left if you think this is your job.
People should still understand the code because sometimes the AI solution really is wrong and I have to shove my hand in it's guts and force it to use my solution or even explain the reasoning.
People should be studying architecture. Cause now I can orchestrate stuff that used to take teams and I would throwaway as a non-viable idea. Now I can just do it. But no you will still be reviewing code.
